I think the lock switches are the same but the drivers window switch wiring is slightly different for the 4-door as opposed to the 2-door. I think that photo might have survived though.

Once you understand the mod though, you are just supplying 12V power and GND from the window switch LED to the Door Lock LED.

Actually - I thought the SVT had lighted door switches and just the base models didn't - maybe 2004's were different.

The mod is well worth doing, though!!!

Power Source Detector (Clear Orange Thing)

Zip Ties

Begin by using the 1/4 wratchet with the extention and T-20 torx bit and unscrew the bolt that is holding the door handle, lock, and switches.

Once that is done, pull on the face plate until it comes off. It may take some M.A.N.

Now take about 4 peices of wire, 8in each, and strip the ends about 1/4" inch, and start to twist the threaded end.

Now tin the ends of them so they will not bird-cage on you when they are pushed into the socket terminals.

For the following instructions there is no need to do any more soldering, all you have to do us snug the wire into the back of the sockets with the other wire(s). After that zip tie them so they are not all dangling around.......

On the back of the socket for the window switch do the following:

Put the ground (blue) wire into socket 1, with the Black WireNOTE: Passenger side is socket 4, with the Black Wire

Put the Hot (red) wire into socket 10, with the Blue/GreenWireNOTE: Passenger side is socket 2, with the White/Green Wire
On the back of the socket for the lock switches do the following:
Put the ground (blue) wire into socket 4, which is the LED Ground.
Put the Hot (red) wire into socket 5, which is the LED 12V Supply.

Not sure if this is okay forum etiquette, but there is a similar thread on focaljet, but I can't access the links, so not sure if they work either:http://forums.focaljet.com/interior-...-light-up.html
It's a pretty simple mod even without the pictures and definitely worth the time to accomplish.

The WayBack Machine didn't have a copy of this thread either.
